15
We sailed from there, and the next day came opposite Chios. The following day we arrived at Samos and stayed at Trogyllium. The next day we came to Miletus.

19
serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears and trials which happened to me by the plotting of the Jews;
20
how I kept back nothing that was helpful, but proclaimed it to you, and taught you publicly and from house to house,
21
testifying to Jews, and also to Greeks, repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
